At the Farnborough Air Show 2018, Air Nostrum and Cityjet announced that the companies would be merged. Since then, the project has been extremely quiet and the Irish carrier had to take refuge in bankruptcy proceedings due to the corona pandemic.
Now things have moved again, as José Manuel Gamir, Chief Financial Officer of Air Nostrum, told El Economista that the merger plan has not fallen asleep. You are negotiating with each other again and the merger has a high priority.
The corona crisis meant that the discussions had to be temporarily suspended. Cityjet and Air Nostrum are major ACMI and charter providers. In the event of a successful merger, by far the largest European provider in this segment would emerge.
